Blackstone Code

The biting cold wind cannot affect the warm room inside the glass window, nor can it affect the ladies and gentlemen here.

Letting Catherine be the first person to stay on duty is also a decision made after discussion between Lynch and Catherine. Catherine hopes to stay and do something for this country and the people here.

The biggest difference between her and everyone else in this room is that she's someone who actually came from the bottom, and maybe Lynch acted as a direct elevator in her ascent.

And it is precisely because she does not need to pay any unbearable price for her rise, so in some ways she will behave more humane!

Human nature is like fuel. If a person wants his own light to cover others, he must burn more fiercely.

But the price paid for the more intense burning is the complete annihilation of human nature, just like the people here.

In order to live longer for themselves, they allow tens of thousands of people to become living subjects in the laboratory to obtain data every year.

They can also step tens of thousands of people deeply into the abyss in order to live more comfortably for themselves.

Human nature has nothing to do with them for a long time. In their empty shells of hypocrisy, there are only some worthless desires that cannot be satisfied.

Catherine still retains her humanity. She hopes to do something for the people here. After discussing with Lynch, she decides to stay.

When people need help the most, when they are most emotionally broken, let them get through these dark and painful days.

Lynch had no objection. Everyone has their own ideas and must be prepared to do something for their ideals.

And strictly speaking, this matter is also beneficial to Lynch's rule. On the one hand, it can deepen the "corporate image" and "corporate responsibility", and on the other hand, subsequent people cannot refuse his assignment.

Even Catherine has gone, who can refuse Lynch?

No one had any objections to this list, including one of the three team members who was from Lynch's side and belonged to the York Gang.

In other words, Catherine will have absolute power in the Federation!

Naturally, Lynch's arrangement could not escape the eyes of the people in this room, and no one was very disgusted with his decision.

Some people even think...

"Mr. Lynch, is six years too short?"

"If we follow the rules of federal presidential rotation, maybe eight to ten years is more appropriate."

The speaker had an attitude of "I say this out of public interest," but everyone knew that he just wanted to hold on to this relatively centralized power for a longer period of time.

Whether to be a not-so-important shareholder on the equator, or to be the prime minister next to the emperor in the Federation, as long as there is nothing wrong with your brain, you will know how to choose.

Lynch shook his head, "Six years is enough. Eight years is too long. We don't know what bad or not so bad things will happen in the apocalypse, and one person's energy is limited. Let them be in charge of the entire federation for a long time. The operation is indeed too heavy.”

"Of course, in addition to the four-person team, we have some other work today that requires your cooperation."

"That is to elect official shelter managers."

"These managers will assist the four-person team in managing all official shelters..."

"Of course, I don't need you to give me an answer right now. You can go back and think about it seriously for a while. There will still be a long time before our official appointment."

People kept asking questions, and Lynch kept answering them. As the initiator of the shelter plan and the largest shareholder of Global Communications, he was the person who could rule the planet in the future.

People have already shown their respect for Lynch's new identity and the corresponding attitude. When someone asked, "If there are some private shelters that are unwilling to cooperate with the federal government in the apocalypse and try to break the order maintained, how should we respond?" The problem.

Lynch gave them a very direct affirmation, but also a somewhat strange answer——

"Any shelter that violates the rules and order will become a ruin. This is what I can assure you, and it is also the basis for us to sit here and discuss these issues."

"But for the time being, you don't need to think about how I did it. You just need to know that if you find someone doing that, just notify me in time and wait for the results."

Members of the board of directors, excluding representatives of the five major banks, all showed expressions of "I actually know it" and "I am very sure of this".

Mysterious as it is, the Riddler is never likeable, but if the Riddler is Lynch, it's best to pretend you can live with that.

The discussion lasted until late at night, and the new order in the federal territory had already taken some shape. What was somewhat incomprehensible was that the first item everyone focused on was the issue of taxation.

It seems that people living in shelters still cannot get rid of the tax problem in the doomsday environment.

After all, taxation is also one of the symbols of the federation, and it is far higher than freedom and justice!

The Union lost the North, leaving people in the Union's South somewhat demoralized.

The environment in the south is actually not bad. In the southernmost region of the Federation, it is still 12 or 13 degrees Celsius during the day. Of course, it will suddenly drop to below zero at night.

But even so, for many people it is still a very "comfortable" temperature, compared to the north.

During this time, another big thing happened in Marillo.

As the Federals evacuated, the shelters that had been constructed were delivered directly to Marillo officials.

The official people from Marillo simply abandoned all the Marillo people and flew to the Federation.

He said it nicely and loved Marillo and the people of Marillo, but when the federal people began to move south and opened some shelters.

These politicians, who always have patriotism written on their faces, took the first step.

Because the last person who could maintain order was lost, extremely fierce fighting and fighting broke out as soon as Mariro's No. 1 extra-large shelter was opened.

Multiple armed groups claimed sovereignty over the sanctuary while denying the sovereignty of other groups, leading to fierce fighting around the sanctuary.

During the exchange of fire, many Maliro people took advantage of the darkness and ran directly into the shelter and occupied some rooms, which also made the situation further out of control.

Extra large shelter No. 1 can accommodate approximately 3.5 million people, with a maximum population capacity of 4 million.

There are currently about 13 million people in Marillo, which means that at least 9 million people will not be able to enter the shelter!

And it is said that someone is trying to close the door of the shelter. Once the door of the shelter is closed, the Marillo armed organization, which lacks heavy firepower, has basically no possibility of opening the door of the shelter!

As a result, a more bloody massacre unfolded in the shelter. Several armed groups temporarily ended the war and demarcated their territory in the shelter through simple negotiations.

Then they all entered the shelter and began to carry out an inhuman massacre of those who entered early.

Everyone who was unwilling to leave the shelter was killed by them. In just a few days, the entire shelter was filled with the unpleasant smell of blood and stench.

A large number of corpses were taken out and dumped around. If the climate here was not too cold, a plague might have occurred.

The poor conditions in the shelter make people desperate, but the Marillo people have no good way to deal with the current situation.

People in the federal northern military region have begun to retreat. Logically speaking, now is the best time to go to the federation, but the temperature near the border at this time is already around minus 17 or 18 degrees Celsius.

The Marillos, who lacked tools and supplies, could not possibly persist to the central region of the federation, and would freeze or starve to death on the road.

What's worse is that the federal people did not leave much food when they evacuated, and the hydroponic farm in the shelter did not start normal work. They only left some instructions.

And these instructions are not enough to support those armed groups to start hydroponic cultivation. This is a desperate journey. Although each of them is working hard, their efforts are destined to have no results!

"Sir, look at her, she can do anything as long as she can give her something to eat and prevent her from starving to death!"

An old woman slapped the military vehicle, but the people in the military vehicle looked at her indifferently and raised their weapons, "Stay away from this vehicle, don't force me to shoot."

The old woman's chapped lips trembled, and finally she sighed and left with her granddaughter.

The soldiers also sighed with emotion. Orders from the military and the Ministry of Defense have been issued. They need to return to the federal territory before September, then take a train to the central part of the federation, and then be arranged to different shelters.

As for everything here, it will have no connection with them.

Having been on duty in Marrone for a long time, he had some sympathy for these Marronese who did not show their fangs, but sympathy was the most worthless and meaningless emotion at this time.

The convoy slowly left. He glanced at the disappointed people, and the countless thoughts in his heart could only turn into a sigh.

But just as the convoy left, another convoy came from a distance, and the Blackstone Security sign was particularly eye-catching.

Blackstone Security is not only famous within the Federation, but also very famous here in Marillo.

Those large, weird-looking vehicles were very futuristic. Under the curious eyes of the soldiers, they drove quickly towards the Marillo settlement.

The original old woman was in complete despair, holding her granddaughter in her arms and silently praying that God would notice them.

The motorcade coming from the wind and snow in the distance was like God's response to her!

The weird and huge vehicle stopped not far from her. Several heavily armed soldiers got out of the vehicle, and at the same time a loudspeaker started to sound——

"Recruiting one thousand workers to work in the federation, only healthy young men and women over fourteen years old and under twenty-four years old..."
